  Actionable Datacubes

The CoperniCUBE service offers the interoperable datacube view on the Copernicus data assets, integrated into the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, It allows mastering Earth Observation data quicker and easier, as well as standing up innovative, high-performance value-adding services in no time, ultimately enabling better and faster business decision making. The vast Copernicus archives get unleashed for zero-coding interoperable access, analytics, AI, fusion and visualization of any-size spatio-temporal EO data. A long lineup of 3rd party clients – from Leaflet over QGIS and ArcGIS to Python, R and openEO – lets tap into the datacubes righ away so that users remain in the comfort zone of well-known clients. enable mastering Earth Observation data and develop innovative services that enable better and faster business decision making.

Copernicube is boosted through the pioneer datacube engine, rasdaman, with highest performance, unlimited scalability, and most comprehensive standards support available in the market: OGC WMS, WMTS, and WCS APIs plus emerging service drafts like OAPI-Coverages. As a unique feature, rasdaman offers high-level declarative datacube queries based on the ISO/OGC/INSPIRE WCPS geo datacube analytics language and the ISO SQL/MDA datacube extension standards. Explore datacube functionality in the Earth Datacube Playground for a hands-on impression!

CoperniCUBE Datacubes are proud member of the EarthServer Datacube Federation, the world's largest location-transparent datacube federation of superscale data centers. The concepts implemented in rasdaman have massively shaped Big Data standards, such as the OGC WCPS geo datacube analytics language and the ISO Array SQL standard.

  Huh? Datacubes?

Not sure about datacube standards? See the EarthServer datacube standards training for an easy-to-digest introduction to the datacube standards, from zero to hero. Further practical tips can be found in the rasdaman cheatsheets and tutorial on OGC WCS/WCPS/WMS.

  rasdaman

rasdaman ("raster data manager") has pioneered the field of actionable datacubes (then called Multidimensional Discrete Data, MDD) as documented in patents and 200+ scientific publications. Today, is sets itself apart by its flexibility, performance, and scalability. Rasdaman integrates smoothly with relational and vector GIS databases. In fact, rasdaman still is the first fully implemented, operationally used system with an array query language and optimized, multi-parallel processing engine with unprecedented scalability. Deployments are in the multi-Petabytes; with EarthServer, planetary-scale fusion of Petabyte datacubes is operational.

  Funding

The CoperniCUBE team gratefully acknowledges funding via several projects, including EU LandSupport, EU PARSEC, German BMEL DynAWI, ESA Cube4All, and several more.
